In 2001 he finally got himself a pair of decks and a mixer. and started buying vinyl from different record stores abroad. Today, Daniel have a huge collection of records, all carefully handpicked. Mixing things up at private house parties and handing out new promo mixes made him heard by alot of people. This eventually led to his first gig. As time went by, Daniel had different gigs localy and he have now played at several clubs, in both his home town Tønsberg and the capital of Norway, Oslo.

Daniel traveled outside europe and had his first official gig abroad shortly after some events he had guested in Norway. He went all the way over to New York City, where he met up with Amos Damon aka DJ Fame. Promoter and friend, NYC´s up´n coming house Dj and producer hooked Daniel up with a few guest spots @ NYC´s celebrity lounge Serena and Australian conga lounge, The Sunburnt Cow. Where he also had legendary percusionist Frank Bambara visiting live on congas. NYC´s true underground spot Sullivanroom was also visited when resident Fame was closing up the night. Daniel got in the likes of Chicago based Mark Grant and New York transplant Oscar P. He have developed a very unique style. House blended with different elements,such as jazz,soul, funk & tech. Strictly underground and very adult. Deep, raw & sexy, a very sleezy funked up sound. We call it pure Chicago House... Expect catchy cuts, 4 on the 4 beat with awesome deep funky basselines.
